Latifah’s Losing It

January 10th, 2008

Is that Jenny Craig working for Latifah or what!? Here’s the Queen pictured at the premiere for her upcoming flick, “Mad Money” looking incredible and noticeably thinner. If ya didn’t know, Latifah’s the new celebrity spokesperson for Jenny Craig, and it looks like it’s doing wonders for her. Hanging out with gal pal/trainer Jeannette Jenkins ain’t hurtin’ either.

The Queen Says: “Ain’t Gonna Be No Wedding”

December 12th, 2007

Queen Latifah’s knockin’ down rumors that she’s trying to get hitched to her personal trainer/”girlfriend,” Jeanette Jenkins.  

“Oh my goodness you guys actually believe that. You can’t believe everything you read…there will be no major announcement made. The only major announcement I have to make is “Merry Christmas,” she reportedly told Chicago radio personality Kendra G.  at Power 92.

The “Perfect Holiday” producer shared similar sentiments with the Chicago Sun-Times:  ”When you’re famous these days, it’s just part of the deal — unfortunately. People will make up all sorts of things that are not true. There ain’t gonna be no wedding.”

We pretty much expected this. But didn’t a small part of you want Queen to come out Ellen Degeneres-style and tell America: “Yeah, I’m a lesbian and I’m marrying my girlfriend. So what???” If she’s even gay, that is. Latifah’s done a spectactular job at keeping her fans guessing.

Latifah Misses Her Triple D’s

October 26th, 2007

You gotta give it up to Queen Latifah. In an industry that idolizes stick-thin white chicks, she’s kept it real by accepting her full-figured self. She recently talked to People mag about her curves.

“(In Hollywood) we’ve definitely gotten better with body type,” she says. “It used to be just me! Now with Jennifer Hudson’s success and America Ferrera, I got some successors to take the reins on this whole bodylicious thing…I think I’m normal compared to the statistics,” she says. “This is a big country nowadays.”

The 37-year-old actress/singer/rapper volutarily had a breast reduction in 2003 to alleviate back pain and shoulder pain, and admits she misses her old “girls.”

Before surgery, Latifah says she was “an E or an F cup. I was pretty big. Now I’m like a DD. I wanted to be a triple. They took one D too many! So that was hard to deal with. … I missed my old look….There are people who love (plastic surgery) and want to cut and chop anything. I’m like, `Y’all are crazy!’”

I personally think she’s fine without the third “D.” Represent for the big girls!
